Here and Now is over. Deadline reports HBO has cancelled the TV show after only one season.
From Alan Ball, the drama centers on a progressive white couple, Greg (Tim Robbins) and Audrey (Holly Hunter), and their multi-ethnic brood as well as a contemporary Muslim psychiatrist (Peter Macdissi). The cast also includes Jerrika Hinton, Daniel Zovatto, Raymond Lee, Sosie Bacon, Andy Bean, Joe Williamson, Avynn Crowder-Jones, Stephanie Arcila, and Erin Carufel.
Here and Now‘s cancellation is hardly a surprise. The HBO series suffered from low ratings during its 10-episode first season. Overall, it earned an average rating of .11 in the 18-49 demo and only 378,000 viewers.
What do you think? Have you seen Here and Now? Do you think it deserved a second chance?
Excellent storyline . I am disappointed to hear the show is cancelled . Give it a second chance . Please reconsider !
So disappointed . Love the show and I was looking forward to another season .
Bring it back . Please !!!!’
So incredibly disappointed HBO! With all the crap out there on TV these gmdays THIS show gets canceled??? Bring this wonderful series and exceptional cast back for a season 2. At the very least answer all the lingering questions and give it a proper ending. This had the potential to go on for years! Such great acting and the writing superb! Cancelling this was NOT a smart move HBO!
I TOTALLY AGREE!!!! I miss this show it was part of me if u get that! Excellent all the way around!!! Tim Robbins and holly hunter and misc! What can we do?!!!
I just found this incredible show. It has so much to offer. SO DISAPPOINTED!!!
I just loved it! Disappointed to read there will be no season 2. So glad it was available at Netflix in The Netherlands.
I am so disappointed about this! I just finished bingeing the first season and was excited to see Alan Ball,s amazing poignant writing again. Yes, he bit off a LOT, but it seemed to me he was eager and had a lot to say and found actors and characters worthy of saying it. I figured the second season would clear things up and pick things back up. I was enjoying the mystery. I think the cast was meeting the challenge dutifully and the work from Robbins and Hunter was thoughtful and honest. I am disappointed HBO invested 3 seasons in… Read more »
I’m incredibly disappointed Here and Now has been cancelled. I see plenty of other shows with similar ratings. The show just kept getting better and better, but ended weirdly. It clearly was meant to continue. I’d love to hear any ideas about how we can push HBO to renew it, that they might actually respond to.
Such an exceptional series – please please let there be another! My favourite programme since Fargo. Captivating.
One of the best shows I’ve seen in AGES!!!! Big mistake in my opinion HBO. Original story with fantastic acting. So sad to hear this
Of couse it deserves a second chance and third too! What a shame HBO! This show is fundamental for our society’s educational growth, it covers all most important facts in the matter of religion, sexuality, individuality, family, humanity and morality! HBO please open your eyes to the real world! And stop vanality!
I am so disappointed that the ratings were limited to the under 49 group. I am 68 and really enjoyed the language, the empathy and thoughtfulness that was exhibited by the writer(s) and actors in this series. I was definitely looking forward to more!!
This makes me very mad that there won’t be a second season! It was amazing and intense and heart felt. LET THERE BE A SECOND SEASON PLEASE!
What a shame , very original show . That takes , spirituality , phycology, sexuality , sociology ,religion , race and much Moore . In other words it’s explores the human condition and the mystery of life . Unfortuonally most people are so cought up in the material world and the follow the cookie cutter way of life. that meaningful topics do not apeal to them, they don’t ask wonder and ask questions about our existence . I’m going to miss this show very much!
A shame as it had great originality and threw in that mystery sci-fi element that didn’t belong but was still very intriguing.
Wonderful series and at 67, I ve seen a lot of programs come and go. This one should certainly stay another season!
